Some are lured by money, others by power, some crave status, others yearn for love, and some are entranced by bodies. But freedom... freedom is the most tantalizing of all.

In "Theoretical Temptations," two souls are drawn together in a storm of intense passion and peril, bound by the intoxicating allure of freedom. As they tread the dark, thrilling path of their desires, they are forced to face their most profound fears and hidden truths. A lie, a contract. Will they unveil more truths or weave a web of even deeper deceit? Will their forbidden love withstand the cruel test of fate, or will it devour them whole?
